    Win $5,000 From The RealReal: My Top 5 Obsessions

    /

    Have you received a text message from The RealReal lately announcing their latest contest? It’s been years since I’ve bought anything from the authenticated luxury e-tailer so this contest is right up my alley and hopefully yours too. Everyone that enters by loving five items have the opportunity to win a $5,000 store credit. I thought I would write a quick write-up (ha!) about the five items I loved on the site – and hope to buy if I win and they’re still available. Since May is Small Business Month, I’m definitely highlighting black-owned businesses like Telfar (The RealReal carries their collaborations with UGG, Eastpak & Moose Knuckles too) and…

    Face Card Beauty Glamour

    /

    This Face Card Beauty Glamour Spell is inspired by the original Beauty Card spell by Tumblr user Windvexer. Further inspired by Bianca Lawson, 44, who I am convinced is immortal at this point. I’ve developed a somewhat obsession with self-preservation so seeing Lawson seemingly refuse to age is such a sight to behold. I believe her 50s will be just as remarkable.
